Jehovah's Witnesses holding convention in Anchorage

[The Librarian]

FAIRBANKS — Jehovah’s Witness delegates from Alaska and the Yukon Territory will speak on the theme of “Loyalty” during the 2016 convention titled “Remain Loyal to Jehovah.” The convention is set for Sept. 2-4 at The Sullivan Arena, 1600 Gambell St. in Anchorage. 

The three-day program will feature 49 presentations, 35 video segments and two full-length films that will be shown Sept. 3 and Sept. 4. Each day, the morning and afternoon sessions will be introduced by music videos recorded specifically for the convention. 

David A. Semonian, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses at their world headquarters in New York, said in a press release, “We strongly believe that loyalty is an essential part of any healthy relationship. The convention this year features content that will help people develop stronger bonds with friends, family members and, above all, with God. We are confident that all who attend will enjoy the program.”

In the weeks before the convention, a special effort will be made to distribute invitations to the convention in areas of Alaska where congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses are located. All ages are invited to attend.

The sessions begin each day at 9:20 a.m. Admission is free. Conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses are supported entirely by voluntary donations. Information including convention schedule is available online at www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/conventions.
